IMAGES AND OBJECTS FROM DREAMS, NIGHTMARES, IMAGININGS, AND DISCOVERIES.
Bruce Bailey
Bruce Bailey is a retired software engineer residing on New England’s south coast who has returned to his original passions of painting, printmaking, and sculpture.
He has worked in a variety of mediums, including oil, acrylic and charcoal on paper, canvas, wood and steel.
Recently he has discovered a potent format for visual expression in old, weathered red cedar shingles common to houses on the south coast. The patterns of weathering and exposure, construction markings and natural color variation make them interesting objects in themselves. Adding to them by direct painting or drawing, or by decoupage with tissue paper printed with his own design images he has produced an expanding series of works.
Inspirational sources of his work are ancient cultures, history, science, music, and literature, as well as the work of other artists. The thematic or narrative content of his work is usually not planned but emerges as the work develops.
